Operation Sindoor Showed PM Modi’s Determination, Pin-Pointed Intelligence, Military Might: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said that Operation Sindoor, India's counterattack to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, showcased Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strong resolve, pinpointed intelligence gathering by multiple agencies, and the unmatched strength of the Indian armed forces.

He made the remarks while inaugurating a new multi-agency centre in Delhi, aimed at enhancing intelligence sharing among various departments. "Operation Sindoor was a reflection of Modi's firm determination, pin-pointed intelligence gathering by various agencies and infallible fire power of our armed forces," Shah said, news agency PTI reported.

The multi-agency centre, operating under the Intelligence Bureau, was originally established in the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks to ensure timely and coordinated information exchange among law enforcement bodies. 

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, halting all military action on May 10 after four days of tensions. However, soon after the ceasefire, India had warned that "any act of terror will be considered an act of war".

Confirming that both nations have "worked out an understanding", Foreign Minister S Jaishankar stated that India would not compromise its stance against terrorism.

India Would Not Be Intimidated By Nuclear Threats: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Operation Sindoor as a reflection of India's firm policy against terrorism and its steadfast commitment to justice. "It is the new normal. We have only kept in abeyance our operations against Pakistan, and the future will depend on their behaviour," Modi had said in a 22-minute address.

He issued a strong warning to Pakistan, asserting that India would not be intimidated by nuclear threats and affirming that terrorism cannot coexist with trade or dialogue. 

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Amit Shah also lauded security forces for their fight against Maoist insurgency, eliminating 31 Naxalites in the biggest-ever anti-Naxal operation in India.

The 21-day-long joint operation was conducted at Karreguttalu Hill (KGH), located on the Chhattisgarh-Telangana border, an area known as a stronghold of Naxal activity.
